DJ,

Idle should be fairly smooth, may be a little too advanced OR still a little retarded. Try moving again one way or the other and see what happens.

As far as the chain stretch , some say 4 degrees is enough to change, most say around 7 degrees is change time. I'd say if it's at 4, tweak the IP till it runs well and forget about it. As long as you change oil often or use synth oil, you'll be fine for MANY k miles!
